Abstract

A silicon carbide epitaxial layer includes: a first impurity region; a second impurity region; and a third impurity region. A gate insulating film is in contact with the first impurity region, the second impurity region, and the third impurity region. A groove portion is formed in a surface of the first impurity region, the surface being in contact with the gate insulating film, the groove portion extending in one direction along the surface, a width of the groove portion in the one direction being twice or more as large as a width of the groove portion in a direction perpendicular to the one direction, a maximum depth of the groove portion from the surface being not more than 10 nm.
